Barcelona. Advertising and ephemera

MAR/2016

An overview of the history of Barcelona society from 1850 until 1950 through the analysis of 2,000 works representative of the most marginal advertising and graphic creation products —what used to be called small leaflets and is now known as ephemera.

The most humble images uncover new landscapes from the past, allow us to demystify or accredit official versions, enable other approaches, other ways of understanding our own history. An alternative entry into the city’s conventional story.
